    I know a few people who react that way to flying.

    My company has a private jet. The technical group I work with occasionally has the opportunity to utilize it for travel to one of our other locations. We had a new guy (fresh out of college) that was a little apprehensive about flying. We reassured him it that it is the best way to fly: No lines, no airport security, no nothing. Just walk into the office, check in, and walk out to the plane.

    One of the other guys later reported back to me that he had never – in 15 years of flying on the company jet – experienced such violent turbulence for such an extended period of time as he did on new-guy’s first flight.

    Our new-hire looked like Opus when they got on the ground.

    Opus has been flying before, and being “up there” wasn’t even in his top three concerns. Not having a fresh change of skivvies, no plumbing facilities, and missing “Cheers” were mostly what he was worried about:

    My first flight was to London, England. I had watched an hour-long program the night before called Why Planes Crash. Not such a great idea, right? Actually I was so impressed with how pilots stayed cool and came up with solutions to flight problems that it helped ease my fears. The turbulence as we flew into London was nervewracking but my sister and I still talk about the how calm the pilot sounded when the turbulence abated. “Sorry ’bout that, folks…” in what sounded like a bit of a southern drawl.

    Opus is just doing his pre-flight checklist for the return trip….

    A near miss, that’s hit. Boom. Oh, look, they nearly missed.

    Note the tie: TWA was the last North American airline to have a dress code printed on the tickets. I miss those guys.
